Elusive Heat's stride length is very average.
She worked an unblinkered 1/8th in 10 flat at FT Feb and her stride length measured out middle of the road.
Her dam was the absolute best I've ever seen around the far turn for a speed sprinter. She would always break sharp - other speeds would often be discouraged to rush up to duel her early - she would just fracture races around the far turn - and loaf home through the stretch in sub par come home time.
I'd watch her races visually and analytically - especially the early ones - and would never be that impressed because she was making comfy early leads and plugging home in moderate time.
